The only way to break a bad habit was to replace it with a better habit.

I don't know if this is a true statistic, but I heard somewhere that there are three times as many single women over forty as single men. That's what we got from the women's movement. The chickens have come home to roost.

I've never been able to say I've been influenced by a list of artists I like because I like thousands and thousands and I've been influenced in some way by all of them.

I've always fought against being controlled and manipulated and stomped upon by circumstances.

I'm content with the fact that I made a decent effort. That's what I've always worried about: that I wouldn't try hard enough.

Dissembling is a common tool of the anger junkie.

My only emotion is gratitude, literally, for my life.
